What Is Hatch Red Chile?

Hatch red chile comes from ripe Hatch chilies grown in Hatch Valley, New Mexico. The sun, elevation, and climate in this area are perfect for growing the famous New Mexico chile.

These chile peppers start as Hatch green chiles and slowly ripen to a deep red color on the vine, giving a richer and sweeter flavor to your dishes.

How Spicy Is Hatch Red Chile?

Hatch red chile comes in mild, medium, and hot heat levels. Cooks have more flexibility in how they can use it.

While the green chile offers a fresh and sharp bite, the ripe red chile packs a deeper flavor—slightly smoky, earthy, and sweet.

Hatch chile delivers a balanced spice that enhances the flavor of your dishes, whether you want the bold kick or the soft warmth it brings.
